    A/C Condenser or Switch?
    I think maybe the condesor motor is going bad, while a/c is on sometimes it spins for just a few seconds and shuts back off if I tap the top of the shroud it stays on, Sometimes it jerks all over trying to kick in? A/C is blowing hot air, and when motor is working it will blow cold. Yesterday in 90+ weather it blew really hot. Is it a switch or a/c condenser motor? I only have enough money to fix one part at this time. Thanks.

    Disconnect the negative battery cable and clean the condenser fan motor connector. Disconnect the condenser fan relay and try jumping the condenser fan motor. This should tell you if the fan motor is bad or not. If the problem persists, check the condenser fan relay.

    If only I knew how to jump it, I am no longer at my friends shop.

    Disconnect the battery cables, so as not to short out anything else on the car, separate the condenser fan motor connector, and run two jumper wires from the battery to the condenser fan motor connector.

    I disconnected it and ran the a/c plugged it back in and the fan started, I think I had to hit the top of fan to get it to work.
